ordinarily what we call love is not real love.We are demanding and asking.It is a kind of begging---"Give me, give me more"-- the real love says take out of me, take out of me more.When love gives it is true; when it hankers to get it is false.When love gives it is radiating, shinning.
montemonte: Been there Noky. I focused on my ex and ignored the red flags too. I ignored what people told me about him. I ignored my gut feeling that was telling me to run. He dumped me after I gave him more then I've ever given any man. That was eight years ago. I've been over it a long, long time but I learned my lesson not to ignore the red flags or my intuition.
Always everyone go with your intuiton/gut feeling/ voice in you lovely sweet emotional head but remember most cant do that. Nite
SoonerGal: the real question is, How many times can we fall OUT of love
Hahahahah, ...Sometimes we do, for different reasons. but normally we fall out of love by realizing that the person we fell in love did not exist at all. it was in our "imagination" only....

i struggle with this.. i agree with it, but i struggle.
i believe love is giving, love is service but when i am tired, or struggling...when the cup is empty.. i can act with kindness, but i attach expectations..my neediness outweighs my my intention to be love. and seek shelter from the storm that is myself
i meditate practice gratitude for those things which i do have do things to be in the now
but i gotta add...that usually ends up me being alone with only philosophical beliefs regarding love on my way to being in the now
SoonerGal: the real question is, How many times can we fall OUT of love
Falling in and out of love for some is a pattern, and we only know something is a pattern when we have done it several times. Mainly the young who cannot risk self doubt, but even in mid-life some have not gained enough ego strength to reflect on the wisdom of their choices, as they set off in search of a new beloved.
Sometimes you just have to recognise the enemy within.
Cyn_Real: only if he is worthy...Its not easy for me to fall in love and once I found red flags, I will automatically move on...we can choose what we feel...
and I think I am not demanding person when I say that I can not have relationship with junkies or bad temper guys no matter how good looking he is...
exactly!!! all it takes is one red flag and I'm gone...(when starting a possibly new relationship)
....I find it a shame reading most comments on here....that any kind of relationship......is doomed before it even starts........by what has happened in the past.....one must move on....and not to live behind the wall...filled with hate and bitterness..........jmo.

I don't hate and I'm not bitter, I don't think I made some right choices, but slowly I'm moving on...it's not easy after a 17 yr marriage, I'll get there one day, just not right now

it's just I don't think it's this teenage starry eyed, all gooey feeling that I've seen described here either...heck what do I know, had 3 failed relationships so really I shouldn't even be on this post

sorry, I am not bitter and I am not men hater... it doesn't mean that I had sad experiences in the past by saking such comments...I never had junkie-bf or bad temper bf ... I just didn't ignore red flags and more realistic...

hi ..Sooner......perhaps not you...a least your moving on.......the way to go.....good luck with your choices.....
truheart1941: hi ..Sooner......perhaps not you...a least your moving on.......the way to go.....good luck with your choices.....
but someone did mention something about love was a "choice" we make, it got to thinking they are probably right, and I probably should have stayed in the marriage, merely by choice...oh well, it's over now and doesn't matter, I'll know better next time

Cyn, your right, you should always listen to those red flags
